He's scared of his own shadow, but I am certain its not his breeding, rather his "early years". He is gentle with kids and adults which is nice but he is too & ...
Confidence-building roads?
(25 Messages)
I'm in search of easy to moderately challenging roads in the Bay Area. Need to build up my confidence after a recent accident. The crash wasn't that bad.

Beyond the faction fight The challenge for all card-carrying ANC members at their national conference is how to deal with the fact that the ANC has brought South Africa into disrepute as a result of internal squabbles -- and how to prevent that from happening in future. Regrettably, South Africa has failed to create an electoral act that allows citizens to elect their own president directly, making him or her accountable to the public as opposed to a party or party faction. So most South Africans will continue to watch from the sidelines. In another country, with a more established culture of democratic voting and where ...
